What trying to put all the pieces and insider information together looks like.

Some are more like this though...

As was I. Was sitting under the V in the upper deck of the south end zone. Knew we won a fraction of a second before everyone else, since I was perfectly in line to see UF's field goal hook and miss left.

I was in E row 20 or so.
 
This thread is why I finally joined VN. Would lurk for years during times of big issues recruiting, coach's, etc. This thread is way too fun to not join. Bring him home

Haha, Exile, I can't even keep up with this thread, much less backtrack!

It's like that internet "truism" that if you lined up to shake hands with every citizen of India one after the other, you'd never finish, because they are born faster than you can shake hands. Heh.

Welcome to the grude thread!
 
AtlantaVol confirmed more than that. He confirmed that the info Beav was sharing could be trusted because he could vouch for the answers he gave when everyone was trying to pin him down. He went on to post after they connected that the info he was sharing was similar to some things he was hearing now that he wasn’t hearing before. At the end of the day, AtlantaVol is a very trusted poster and his stamp on Beav gave most people permission to at the minimum, entertain what he was saying.

I'm telling you, Beaver is AV.

I believe there were about 5-7 people who knew he was coming in 2012 and many of us latched on to it. When it didn’t happen, they took a beating on Volnation and were scarce. Those who felt jilted, said so and now suffer from BVS and Butthurtness and refuse to let it go. Those of us who believed our AD screwed it up, sat back and watched a male lesbian take our team down the crapper and called him out for it. After Ga, the thread became alive and all of a sudden there was a reunion of former OGs and believers. Then, as Botch continued to ,well, Botch things up Grudens name began to come up and some of the same
Guys began to hear the rumblings again. We all latched on, and over the coursed the past month, some new insiders, great intellectual thinkers and the original OGs begin to realize more had been happening over the past 5 years than we’d known. That this shift back to becoming elite as a football team AND a university had been coming together thanks to the effort of boosters who decided Boss Hogg no longer needed to run Hazzard County and it was not just a wish but was becoming a reality. We then realized that Gruden wasn’t/isn’t the prize, he’s a piece to the entire puzzle. He’s the one who will make TN football greater than it’s possibly ever been, and in the meantime, the university as a whole will benefit thus the prize is really the shift of power from old money to fresh, new vision. And with that, here we are.... make sense?

Wow, Reverend, that's complicated. But yeah, I think I understand, at least the broad brush strokes of it.

I missed all the 5-year-ago stuff, of course, I'm a newb in VolNation still, but I can imagine how it musta been.

Thanks for the review. :good!:
 
I think we all severely underestimate how many "lurkers" have been on this thread for weeks.

People are hopeful. They want good news. They've been burned too many times in the past to say they're in, but they're here.

Agree. I've been walking through Disney World for the past with my phone out at every opportunity to check out these threads. I know my brother, who never posts, is doing the same. We're both all in!
